Well, encourage Java development is something I also think would be a great idea. There is lots of Java applications still to be tested and used together with OS2. But, shouldn't Java apps be able to compete within the other categories ?

warpcafe (Mar 12, 2003 16:06):what about a "community award" that goes to a person/team of the OS/2 community for "non-programming" achievements?Greetings

Without mentioning names (why spoil the fun already) but would there actually be enough people to nominate so that we can have at least 5 good names ? Thinking out loud here just so we end up with a category that we only have 2 or 3 nominees...

I don't think that would be a problem. There are enough people who have assembled extremely valuable information on their web sites, written documentation and how-tos, written excellent articles for magazines, created a platform for developers, etc. etc. I think I could easily list 10 names.

last updated at 04 May, 2003 19:48 (2 times)Well, here is the final list of categories that we will use:

- Best Unix Port of the Year- Best Commercial Software of the Year- Best Java Application of the Year- Best Site of the Year- Best Supporting Company of the Year- Best Individual Software of the Year- Honor Award for Individuals

If I get OK on the nomination form tonight, we'll kick it off then later tonight or tomorrow.

Regarding Community Award I would recommend that we use the Honor Award for Individuals since this is what it wcould be used for.

Kim (May 04, 2003 17:44):Well, here is the final list of categories that we will use:

- Best *nix Port of the Year

Kim, please make that "Unix" instead of "*nix". Many people want understand it otherwise and the registered trademark is UNIX in capital letters.
